Du Qi personally stepped forward, took out the down jacket, and put it on Li Yuan. There was no zipper in this era, so buttons could only be used. Moreover, it was a Chinese-style toggle-and-loop button. Only in this way could it be beautiful and generous, and not be exposed to the wind in front of the chest.
When Li Yuan put on the down jacket, he immediately felt warm. After all, the down jacket's duck down was extremely easy to keep warm and could produce a lot of heat.
In particular, this down jacket was a long style, already past the knees.
It was just right for Li Yuan to wear it.
Du Qi said: "Your Majesty, although this down jacket is different from other clothes, in winter, it can ensure the body's warmth. Therefore, Your Majesty can wear it except for the court assembly and other official meetings with court officials. This is the first down jacket. I had someone make it according to Your Majesty's figure. I will make more clothes for Your Majesty in the future so that Your Majesty can keep warm. "
"Good, good, good boy!"
Li Yuan stood up and walked back and forth twice. He did not feel the slightest bit of coldness. However, Li Yuan was an elderly person and was afraid of the cold. Therefore, in the Sweet Dew Hall, there was a brazier burning charcoal fire to dispel the cold and keep warm.
After a while, Li Yuan felt his body was somewhat hot. After all, the main hall was extremely warm. Li Yuan felt a little hot, so he strode out and arrived outside the Sweet Dew Hall.
The weather at the end of October, the cold wind hit the face, blowing like a knife on one's face.
It was very uncomfortable.
Especially when this cold wind blew into the neck, it was also exceptionally uncomfortable. However, the collar of the down jacket was high, and there was also a hat behind it, which could cover the face and so on.
If it were in the past, Li Yuan would definitely be cold and tense when standing outside the main hall, feeling uncomfortable all over. But now, Li Yuan did not feel cold at all, only feeling incomparably comfortable.
This temperature was just right.
Very comfortable.
"Good, good!"
Li Yuan sighed in admiration and said, "Erlang, you, this brat, have a heart. This down jacket, I will accept it. "
Du Qi said: "It's fine as long as Your Majesty thinks it's useful. In fact, if Your Majesty still feels a little cold, you can also wear another vest and tie the leg guards to help Your Majesty keep warm. In short, this winter, Your Majesty does not need to worry about the invasion of the cold. You can pass the winter peacefully. "
Li Yuan said, "Good lad!"
At this moment, the more Li Yuan looked at Du Qi, the more gratified he felt. Erlang was the best.
She was thinking of him.
Unlike his sons, all of them were busy fighting for power and profit, all of them were busy fighting for the right to speak in the court. In particular, these people did not give him peace of mind. It was Du Qi that he liked.
Li Yuan's thoughts turned, and he suddenly said, "Oh, Erlang, you punk, you've always never visited the Three Treasures Palace without a reason. It had always been the case that if there was something good, it would definitely be related to making money. Now that you've made the down jacket, are you planning to open a shop to make money? "
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty's insight is like a torch, this little one admires you. This time, this kid was indeed planning to step into another industry. Tea shops are related to tea, restaurants are related to food and beverage, bookstores are related to culture, and down jackets are related to clothing. "
"This industry is bound to be popular."
"We'll definitely make a lot of money."
"After all, everyone needs to wear clothes. And for different people, there will naturally be different clothes. For example, Your Majesty's down jacket is filled with the best duck down. It's the best. "
Du Qi continued, "Just here alone, a hundred duck-sized cats wouldn't be able to make a down jacket. Such down jackets can only be used by the nobles and rich merchants. "
"As for the middle-class families or ordinary people, they will have down jackets of a lower quality."
"Although the quality is a little worse, the price is lower."
"But it can keep people warm."
"In short, this down jacket will definitely satisfy the people of the entire Tang dynasty. It will definitely let all the people be able to keep warm and not be afraid of the invasion of the cold."
Du Qi spoke frankly and with assurance, with an expectant look.
For him, in fact, at this point, making money was not much of a concern. On the contrary, now when he could benefit the people and make money again, it was best to let the people's lives gradually get better.
Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Erlang, you mentioned a lot of things and also talked about how to make money. Say it, what is your request?"
Du Qi said again, "Your Majesty is still the wise one!"
Li Yuan said, "You always don't go to the temple for no reason, but who can compare with you when it comes to making money? So, this down jacket of yours will definitely make money. "
Du Qi said, "I really can't hide it from Your Majesty. But this subject thinks that the Tang dynasty has just been established, and it's not easy for the country, especially Your Majesty's palace treasury is not abundant. After all, the entire Tang dynasty is thrifty, so this subject will give Your Majesty 30% of the net profit for the down jacket I want to sell. Although this profit will not make Your Majesty as rich as a country, at least Your Majesty's expenses in the palace will not be a problem. "
Li Yuan pondered for a while and continued, "You, kid, are giving me benefits, I'm afraid you also have some requirements."
"Yes!"
Du Qi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, for this matter, I need to borrow your image. We only have one thing, and that is to publicize to the outside world, saying that Your Majesty wears it well, saying that the down jacket is approved by Your Majesty. That's all, there won't be any other publicity. "
"Okay, no problem!"
Li Yuan pondered for a moment, this was not a big problem.
Not to mention, he got 30% of the profit for free.
Li Yuan suddenly said, "Erlang, you, kid, monopolize 70% of the profit, and I only get 30% of the profit. Isn't such an arrangement somewhat inappropriate? "
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, you are wrong!"
Li Yuan said, "What do you mean?"
Du Qi said seriously, "Actually, with Your Majesty's wisdom, you can understand with a little thought. Think about it, at this moment of making down jackets, you need countless manpower, especially recruiting many women, only then can they do needlework. "
"In addition, you need people to buy duck feathers, and then process the duck feathers. You also need to disinfect, remove the smell, and so on. Otherwise, this down jacket will be uncomfortable to wear on the body, and it will also make people fall ill."
"The sales of down jackets, as well as the shops needed, all kinds of expenses need to be incurred. All in all, it's not a small expense. What's more, I've always been the kind of person who doesn't eat alone. I definitely have to pull people into the partnership, and I also have to share the profits. "
"Your Majesty, you own 30% of the shares, which is actually the biggest share."
Du Qi said, "In the end, it's already very good for this subject to be able to own 20% of the shares."
When Li Yuan thought about it this way, it seemed that it really made sense. He heard that Du Qi's restaurants and tea shops had many investors, and they were all operated together.
Li Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, it's enough for me to own 20% of the shares."
Du Qi said, "Your Majesty, there's no need. This subject has other businesses, and I don't lack money. The reason why this subject opened this down jacket business, the biggest idea is to let the people earn money through recruitment, and also to let the people earn money, so that the people won't be attacked by the cold winter. As for the problem of money, this subject doesn't have any thoughts. After all, the current subject doesn't lack food and clothing. "
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!"
He was admiring Du Qi's attitude.
No desires, no demands.
And wholeheartedly for the people.
How could this kind of kid not make people like him?
A brilliant smile hung on Li Yuan's face, and he said, "Erlang, I've never taken the initiative to inscribe words for people. Last time, I bestowed you with a set of words passed down from generation to generation, and it was you who requested it. This time, the down jacket you want to make, what's the name of the shop, I'll personally inscribe a set of words for you, as the treasure of your shop. "
Xiao Li had been serving at the side all along. When he heard Li Yuan's words, his brows raised, and a shocked expression appeared on his old face.
Li Yuan personally inscribing words, this was not simple.
Erlang's honor and favor was unparalleled in the world. No one could be mentioned in the same breath as Erlang.
This was unique.
